Prayers can solve Nigeria’s challenges, says C&S Supreme Head

The Supreme Head of Cherubim and Seraphim Agbojesu Conference Worldwide, Samuel Ajayi, has said that the challenges facing the country are not beyond what prayer can resolve, urging Nigerians to remain steadfast in prayers for the country’s leadership.

He made this known at the church’s Annual General Convention held recently in Oyo State.

The clergyman, who emphasised that the current socio-economic situation in the country required a spiritual approach, said, “Beyond the physical approach needed to tackle the nation’s socio-economic challenges, we must not be tired of praying for its progress. We should also pray for the wisdom and fear of God upon those elected to lead us. They need our spiritual backing at this crucial time.”

Ajayi drew parallels between Nigeria’s current challenges and the experiences of the Israelites in the Bible saying, “During their time, everything seemed impossible, but God intervened, and their situation changed for the better. God will do the same for Nigeria.”

He expressed gratitude for the progress made by the Conference, noting significant growth over the past year. “We give glory to God for the church’s growth ahead of our forthcoming Agelu ascension pilgrimage in July and next year’s convention in Iseyin, Oyo State,” he added.

The Chairman of the USA and Canada Sub-conference, Francis Okhiria, called for unity in the C&S church as it prepares for its centennial celebration.

“C&S have different denominations now, so we should build on that diversity. We are all one and we have everything in common coming from the church founder, St Moses Orimolade Tunolase,” he said.
